Mr Tagg added the club had achieved what seemed an impossible task in getting all three together in a star-studded line-up.

They played together in the famous 1981 FA Cup Final replay against Manchester City, which Spurs won 3-2 with Villa scoring twice.

Steve Perryman gained the distinction as the most loyal player at Spurs, arriving at the north London club as a teenager and becoming captain at the age of 20.

He made a record 854 appearances and went on to gain FA Cup, League Cup and UEFA Cup glory during his 17 seasons with the club.

Former midfielder Ossie Ardiles won the 1978 World Cup as a player with Argentina.

He became a cult hero in England as a Spurs player and manager in the mid-1990s utilising a formation of five forwards which had not been seen on English soil since the 1950s.

Ossie is also remembered for his collaboration with pop duo Chas and Dave and the rest of the Spurs squad to make the song Ossie's Dream in which he famously pronounced the club's name as "Tottingham".

But it was during the FA Cup run of 1980-81 that Villa's name was carved in Spurs folklore.

Few will forget his sad walk back to the changing room after being substituted in the initial final tie that ended in a 1-1 draw.

Many believed manager Keith Burkinshaw would drop him for the replay but the boss stuck by his man and Villa delivered.

Having already scored the opener, he took off on a brilliant zig-zag of a dribbling run with the score at 2-2. He slipped past four City defenders and slotted home under Joe Corrigan for the winner. It later gained him the Wembley Goal of the Century Award.
